If reelected, Gov. Gavin Newsom said he is committed to finishing his four-year term as governor—a promise that reiterates his consistent denial of rumors that he is running for president.
Newsom announced his intention during the first and likely only gubernatorial debate ahead of the Nov. 8 election. He met his opponent, state Sen. Brian Dahle, in San Francisco for a debate aired by KQED Sunday afternoon.
